Twelve-year-old Tom Pippin's life takes several drastic turns during this short, exciting chapter book for young readers. Tom refuses to be beaten by circumstances and fights for his freedom and the chance to live his life how he chooses after his parents die. We see that one's actions and decisions have consequences as related to us in the tragic tale of Captain Land, a pirate of some honor, who redeems Tom's life.

Bulla's books are among my favorites to recommend to young readers.

Pirate's Promise is one of the best books I have ever read and if you like adventures you'll like it a lot. Tom Pippin, the main character, has a hard life. He thinks he is his own master. He may be bonded for seven years. He meets some nice captains and some mean ones. He meets some bad guys and some new friends and goes to a lot of new lands.

Also, other books by Cldye Robert Bulla are really good.

Pirate's Promise is an adventure book. Tom is sold for seven years of work in Anerica. He learns it is not good to be a pirate, but some are nice.
